Ingredients
Method
Make the Crust
- Add 26 golden Oreos to a food processor and pulse until you have fine, even crumbs.
- Transfer crumbs to a bowl, add the melted butter, and stir until all crumbs are evenly coated.
- Press the mixture evenly into a 9-inch tart dish, pushing it slightly up the sides. Bake at 325°F for 10–12 minutes until slightly golden. Let cool completely before filling.
Make the Lemon Curd
- In a medium heatproof bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and heavy cream until smooth and combined.
- Set the bowl over a saucepan of gently simmering water (bain-marie), ensuring the bowl bottom does not touch the water. Cook over moderate heat, whisking constantly, for 10–20 minutes until the curd thickens and reaches 170°F, or coats the back of a spoon with a clear finger trail.
- Remove from heat immediately and strain through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bowl.
- Add the cold butter cubes a few pieces at a time, whisking until each addition is completely melted and incorporated before adding more. The curd will become beautifully silky and glossy.
- Allow the curd to cool to room temperature, whisking occasionally. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
- Pour the cooled curd into the completely cooled Oreo crust. Spread evenly. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until completely set.
- Slice with a sharp, warm knife. Serve with fresh berries, whipped cream, and a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
